Toronto

 

"Adam-12 was a television police drama which followed two police officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, Pete Malloy and Jim Reed, as they patrolled the streets of Los Angeles in their patrol unit, 1-Adam-12. Created by Jack Webb who is known for creating Dragnet, the series captured a typical day in the life of a police officer as realistically as possible. The show ran from 1968 through 1975, and helped introduce police procedures and jargon to the general public in the United States of America.

 

A realistic style police drama following the lives of two officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, veteran Pete Malloy and his rookie partner, Jim Reed. Each episode of the series covered a variety of incidents that the officers encountered during a shift, from the tragic to the trivial.

 

Adam-12 was the first TV series to more realistically portray the joys and frustrations of being a police officer in the late 1960s through middle 1970s. This 'new' attention to detail made the show a catalyst for uncounted numbers of people to enter law enforcement agencies when they became adults, the same way COPS has done since 1989." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
